Additions and departures seem to be the recent trend with the high-performance training group

The Nike Oregon Project has seen significant turnover in the last 12 months.

A number of notable athletes have departed, as well as joined in place of the exiting athletes, the high-profile training group headed by Alberto Salazar out of the Portland, Ore area. The controversial group has been in the news on countless occasions in recent years because of alleged misuse of medications for performance-enhancing benefits. Salazar has denied all allegations.

The group, which trains at Nike’s headquarters in Beaverton, Ore., has added as many athletes as have departed in recent months and years. In 2017, additions included IAAF World Championships bronze medallist over 800m Clayton Murphy, world indoor champion Yomif Kejelcha and former NCAA star Craig Engels. No women have joined the group since Sifan Hassan in late 2016, according to the team’s roster page.

Jordan Hasay and Galen Rupp, both marathoners, are two of the group’s longest-serving members. Rupp has been coached by Salazar since he was 15 and the group’s success peaked in 2012 when Rupp and Farah went 1-2 in the men’s 10,000m at the London Olympics. Hasay, one of the fastest American marathoners in history, joined the Oregon Project in 2013. Shannon Rowbury too joined the Oregon Project in 2013.

A number of factors have led to the departure of athletes including for different types of training (Farah), returning to near their hometown (Centrowitz) or because the training didn’t fit with their personal history (Levins).
